Hello,

Gibraltar!!

Congrats on the cool DX, Ron!

Now, where on the web is an up-to-date and authoritative mapping of callsign
prefixes to countries?  I can't find ZG here:
http://www.425dxn.org/dxcc/dxccmain.html .  I would have guessed by
interpolation that it was maybe Cayman Islands, which is ZF, but I obviously
need a better list, or else I'm overlooking it.

Anyway, I'm going to go check out 30m before all the Europeans go to
sleep...

Thanks & 73,
Jeff

According to my DX cluster's database, ZG = ZB (Gibraltar), although  
I have never heard that prefix.

ZG is indeed an alternative prefix for ZB and is shown as such in the
RSGB prefix guide and recognised as such in my logging program
(XMLog).

ZB2FK is a resident on the rock so was obviously using the call for a
special occasion (don't know what). I see from the cluster that ZG2FX
was also active - as well as WB3AAL...
